Morey relates that for three-quarters of an hour th men fought against fatal odds, “singing and joking among themselves all the while, even though they realized we had been trapped and had little chance of getting ovt alive.” It is not only his understanding of obedience and discipline that makes the negro as good and sometimes u better soldier than the white man. The negro in most cases possesses a buoyancy of spirit and a} vapacity for personal devotion and loyalty to his leaders that make him a blithe and willing fighter. | ‘The Carrizal affair is not yet fully understood. But even though it turns out to have been a blunder due to overzeal, no blame will! attach itself to the men who only did what they were told to do. If war it proves to be, the fact that among its tirst heroes were negroes will give inspiring impetus to the movement to organize negro regiments ‘into the National Guard—already under way in this State. Scene eee Geman | “THE HOUR OF ACTION?” S$ TH Russian advance ia the east slackens for the moment come reports from the western front of British “smashes” which even Berlin characterizes as “important.” British heavy artillery has been pounding with extra vigor along a sixty-five- mile front and British infantry is said to have broken through the German lines et ten different places. On the other hand the French Nevertheless Paris seems convinced that a great offensive move- ment on the part of the allies is preparing. “The hour of action,” so the Matin puts it, “is here. Attack succeeds defense on many fronts.” It begins to look as if the allies meant, at first anyhow, to do their attacking in turn—perhaps with a view to causing hurried re- distritutions of German reinforcements unti) there is no heavy mass of opposing strength at uny one point. If the allies are getting ready for a terrific, concerted, “all to- gether” effort to crush in the Teutonic fronts east, west and south, the present alternate attacks are easily understood. The allies hope the ring may assume a fairly uniform thickness in order that under pressure from al] sides it shall yield everywhere at once.
